Did anyone see the article today? Chicago AP

"People on popular preseciption heartburn drugs -- Prilosec, Prevacid and Nexum -- seem more prone to getting a potentialy dangerous diarrhea caused by the bug Clostridium Difficile, new research show. C-diff, as it's known, can cause severe dirrhea and crampy intertinal inflammation called colitis.

Something to think about???

Thank goodness I didn't get those side effects when I had my ulcer and was on Prilosec. See, everything good for you is bad in the long run, I guess.

I was hospitalized last month with C.difficle. I was not on any meds at the time of the infection (besides Synthroid and Yasmin). The docs don't know how/why I got it (its not a food poisioning bacteria), but I suspect its just one of those bacterial overgrowths that those with celiac may be prone to. I had never been so ill in my life - the D was water - no substance (sorry, that's kind of gross) and constant vomitting. My lips turned blue and my blood pressure was so low, I couldn't stand without falling over. Very scary. It is supposedly a common overgrowth in those that have been taking antibiotics for a long time (like hospital patients)..... If you have more info on this infection, could you please post?

      @Healthierbody2026, as I said above, there is not a separate forum within this community for NCGS people and I do not know of one anywhere else. You sound uncertain whether your physician ordered blood tests for celiac disease or for diabetes. Do you have access online to your medical records and test results?

      @trents first response: can you direct me to that particular section of this site for NCGS or and are there any groups I can join for people with NCGS? second response: I can’t really remember due to it was some or a few years back but I believe she did blood tests or work on me or I think she did a glucose test on me.

      There is not a distinct section in this particular online resource and community devoted to those with NCGS. And I cannot say with any certainty whether or not such a thing exists elsewhere online.

And I cannot say with any certainty whether or not such a thing exists elsewhere online. But your question makes me think celiac.com might entertain the idea of starting a forum within our community for that purpose. I should explain that celiac.com is divided into a number of separate forums, each devoted to a different topic or concern within the gluten intolerant/gluten sensitive population. Having said that, the main is on those with celiac disease (or their support systems) rather than those with NCGS because it has more serious long-term health implications. I see. Can you elaborate on how you were tested to arrive at this diagnosis?
